Abstract

The article focuses on the Academy Awards ceremony relocating to the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles starting with the 101st Oscars in 2029. The event, hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, has been held at the Dolby Theatre for 26 years, but a new 10-year agreement with live entertainment company AEG will bring significant upgrades to the Peacock Theater, including expanded capacity and enhanced technological capabilities. The move coincides with the Oscars shifting their broadcast from ABC to YouTube to reach a younger, global audience. The Peacock Theater, part of the LA Live district owned by AEG, currently seats 7,100 people—more than double Dolby Theatre’s capacity—and may be renamed after 2028 when its naming rights expire.
